Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "VFU053-002 Great Ouse Collective Action Project" was initiated by WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme), situated in Banbury, United Kingdom. This initiative fell under the industry category of services, specifically focusing on project management services distinct from construction work, community action programmes, and environmental services. The tender stage began on 2nd April 2026 and was expected to conclude with contract activity from May 25, 2026, to May 31, 2027. However, the procurement process was ultimately cancelled on 19th June 2026. Despite being open to competition and offering a contract valued at £72,000, the process was terminated as the sole tender received was found inadequate in providing the necessary assurance on delivery approach and stakeholder engagement.

This tender presented a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in project management, community, and environmental services to expand. Companies with robust methodologies, strong team capabilities, and competitive pricing strategies would have been well-suited to participate in this open competition process. Although the tender has been cancelled, similar future opportunities could leverage the expertise of organisations experienced in facilitating collective action projects and engaging with local communities around environmental initiatives. The open competition model and the possibility of contract renewal highlighted the opportunity for sustained business growth and engagement with a leading public undertaking like WRAP.
